Really interesting article here (if your interested in subs that is)
THE STRATEGY
WEST NEEDS TO KEEP WATCH IN THE DEEP

Australia's next submarine fleet is a hot topic, with the Federal Government creating widespread confusion with its decision to embark on a "competitive evaluation process".
What it seems to be is a process in which offerings from submarine manufacturers in Europe will be compared with what’s on offer from Japan.
They won’t be directly evaluated against each other, as would happen in a tender process, and that’s mostly because the two options offer different benefits (and risks).
Read more lots of imagery too http://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws..../interac/longform/submarinedossier/index.html
